“And I say this without hyperbole, in the arab world there is probably no greater impediment at the moment to queer liberation than imperialism” Hamed Sinno
"If the Zionist entity claims to be the protector of democratic values in the battle for Western civilization, we reject this civilization. We are not interested in defending this nation-state model based on capitalism, exploitation of bodies and people. We are not interested in a homo-lesbian-bi-transphobic, fatphobic and ableist state. We do not accept our identities being used as a weapon to justify oppression in Palestine.
There is no queer liberation under occupation. None is free until we are all free.
There is no liberation until Palestine is free, from the river to the sea"

Mentre i mass media costruiscono una narrazione volta al mantenimento del suprematismo bianco eteropatriarcale, attraverso i social media si stanno veicolando contenuti che prendono posizione per decostruire la narrazione imperialista occidentale e rivendicare pratiche di resistenza contro l’oppressione sistemica, attraverso voci e esperienze dirette di personaggi pubblici, attivist3 e giornalist3. Come possiamo amplificare alcuni di questi contenuti, di cui fruiamo in modo solitario quando scrolliamo Instagram?
“Fuck your rainbow flag” cita la parte finale del video che Hamed Sinno ha pubblicato su Ig il 14 novembre 2023. Nel video, l_ compositor_ e ex cantante dei Mashrou' Leila di Beirut condive le sue riflessioni su cosa significhi vivere e impegnarsi nell'attivismo per la libertà e la visibilità delle persone queer nei Paesi arabi, e critica il modo in cui le lotte per l'autodeterminazione vengano fatte proprie e strumentalizzate dalle potenze imperialiste per il mantenumento del progetto coloniale.

While the mass media constructs a narrative aimed at the maintenance of white supremacism heteropatriarchy, content that takes a stand to deconstruct the Western imperialist narrative and claim practices of resistance against systemic oppression is being conveyed through social media, through the voices and direct experiences of public figures, activists and journalists. How can we amplify some of this content, which we enjoy solitarily when we scroll Instagram?
“Fuck your rainbow flag” quotes the final part of the video that Hamed Sinno posted on Ig on November 14, 2023. In the video, the composer and former singer of Beirut-based Mashrou’ Leila share their thoughts on what it means to live and engage with activism for the freedom and visibility of queer people in Arab countries, and criticize how struggles for self-determination are appropriated and instrumentalized by imperialist powers to proceed their own mission, the resumption of the colonial project.
